Clearance - Hunter Gatherer - prehnite, amethyst, freshwater pearl and sterling silver necklace

Description

Was $231.

This year I have decided to participate in the Year of Jewelry weekly challenge. This week's theme was "Stone Age". I did quite a bit of research in this theme, and decided to create an urn or pot shaped pendant, like those that were made in the Dimini era in Thessaly, but as I started creating, I couldn't resist adding a beautifully gemmy prehnite "spear head" which just begged to be included. Hence - "Hunter Gatherer" was born.

The frame of the pendant has been shaped like an urn, then hammered and wirewrapped carefully with thin wire. To that was added a delicious prehnite focal - the "spearhead" - which was attached using yards of wire and sparkling AAA amethyst rondelles. Three plump freshwater pearls - in a wonderful lavender with green and gold lustre - adorn the pendant. A handmade chain of painstakingly linked prehnite and freshwater pearls is finished with a handforged clasp and an extension chain. The entire design was then oxidised and selectively rubbed back, to reveal the textures in the ornate wirework.

This measures an adjustable 40 1/2 - 46 1/2cm or 15 3/4 - 18 1/4" in length, whilst the pendant measures 4cm or 1.6" in height, and 2.4cm or 0.9" at the widest point.

All metal is sterling silver.
